Exam Part 2 - Instructions

Interactive Design 40S
Exam Part 2 - Photosynth Tutorial - Friday and Monday
  1. Create an account at www.Screencast-o-Matic.com
  2. Create a tutorial using Screencastomatic to illustrate (to someone who has never heard of or used Photosynth) the steps in creating a synth. This exam is to test whether you are able to learn a new technology without instruction and to use it for a purpose and to test your ability to create a good Photosynth.You may create a short test tutorial first to experiment if you wish (highly suggested!)
    This person, by following your instructions in the tutorial, should be able to
  • create a Photosynth at 100% synthed
  • upload a synth to a website such as a wiki
  • view the Photosynth in 3D, 2D, overhead, and point cloud format
  • edit (or re-create) the Photosynth if it is not 100% synthed


You may use pictures from the Interactive Design Pickup folder for your tutorial. Create a small Photosynth--approximately 20 - 50 pictures.Use a microphone to record some instructions in audio.


3. Save your tutorial in a Windows Media (AVI) format as PhotosynthTutorialFirstName.
Upload your finished tutorial to the project wiki to the Exam Part 2 - Photosynth page in the Nav sidebar. Again, type your name first, then embed your tutorial as a video widget underneath your name.

4. Go directly to Exam Part 3 - Photostory
